The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Duke Johnson is "frustrated by his lack of chances."

Johnson had to receive a pep talk from Tyrod Taylor on Wednesday. "He told me to just be more positive," Johnson said. For his part, Johnson said he is not going to formally lodge a complaint. "I've just never been a big fan of going up to coaches and demanding the ball." Johnson is right to be frustrated. Even with the Browns hurting for weapons, Johnson is averaging just five touches per game after that number was 10 in 2017. OC Todd Haley needs to find a way to get his playmaking change-of-pace back more involved.

Those players are WR Keenan Allen, RB Melvin Gordon, DE Melvin Ingram, FS Derwin James, ST Adrian Phillips, QB Philip Rivers, and C Mike Pouncey, who earned an NFL-high $500,000 bonus for making the Pro Bowl. The Chargers narrowly beat the Steelers (6), Chiefs (6), Bears (5), Cowboys (5), and Saints (5) for the most Pro Bowl selections. There will be others added to the team as players drop out, so the final roster could change these standings. The current list can be found in the link below.

Phillip Lindsay became the first undrafted offensive player to be selected to the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

Lindsay earned his selection by scoring nine rushing touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards on his 182 carries. The undrafted rookie has also snagged 33-of-45 targets for 230 yards and an additional touchdown. The other running backs to be selected to the Pro Bowl are James Conner, Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley, Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott, and Tarik Cohen (return specialist). The full list can be found in the link below, but remember that many others are added as players drop out from participating. Just ask Andy Dalton.

Clark was inactive for Week 15, and the Packers are choosing to sideline him for the last two games. It's a big loss for Green Bay -- Pro Football Focus grades him as the No. 8 interior defensive lineman -- especially with Mike Daniels (foot, I.R.) out as well. Jets RB Elijah McGuire will be a RB2 with Clark and Daniels out of commission.

New York Upstate reports free agent Nathan Peterman will work out for the Raiders.

Peterman is "drawing a lot of interest" from the league, and his next stop will be in Oakland. The ex-Bills quarterback will work out for Jon Gruden, who is reportedly "very high" on Peterman's abilities. New York Upstate's Ryan Talbot wouldn't be surprised if Peterman landed on the Raiders' practice squad.

Chargers coach Anthony Lynn believes Keenan Allen (hip) could end up a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Ravens.

Allen did not practice on Thursday, getting his week off on the wrong foot. Allen would ideally rest, but Saturday is a game the Chargers have to have to keep their hopes of earning the AFC's No. 1 seed alive. Even having Allen as a decoy would be a big boost against the Ravens' strong secondary.

With Todd Gurley dealing with knee inflammation, the Rams are taking out a Week 16 insurance policy. Were Gurley to sit against the Cardinals' soft run defense, CJA would likely see immediate run alongside existing backups John Kelly and Justin Davis.

This will help the Raiders in their pursuit of the No. 1 overall pick. Jackson played all 67 snaps in Week 14 but was missing in Week 15. He should be back to 100 percent health well ahead of next summer's training camp. Going on 28, Jackson is signed through 2022. He has earned sub-replacement level marks from Pro Football Focus each of the past two years.

Mariota is often battling some sort of ailment but has usually played through them this season. His Week 16 job against the Redskins will be to put the ball in Derrick Henry's gut as many times as possible.

An All-Pro return man in 2017, Cooper had failed to make an impact after coming off injured reserve in late-November. Cooper's release is surprising in the context of JoJo Natson's return woes on Sunday. Only 23, Cooper will undoubtedly get a second chance elsewhere.
